Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time. Linear functions change at a constant time per unit interval. Exponential functions can also be used to model populations that shrink from deadly diseases or maybe chemical compounds that break down over time. These models exhibit exponential decay and not exponential growth.
Exponential growth and decay worksheets help students build a base in understanding the exponential growth and decay over time using related word problems.
Exponential growth always shows a sharper increase over time. Examples of exponential growth include spoilage of food, human population, microorganism in culture, etc.
One of the most important examples of exponential decay in medical science is elimination or metabolism of medicines and drugs from the human body. If a drug or medicine stays for a longer time period in the human body than desired then it may cause a poisonous effect in the human body.
Exponential growth and decay worksheets will help you to analyze and find equations for word problems that deal with the growth and decay.
